There mainly lived and lives Bao Clan in the village. Bao was one of the richest nabobs of his day, Ming and Qing Dynasty. It has the largest torii group (7 toriis) in China now. The toriis were built by emperors or permitted by emperors to honor "loyalty, chastity, righteousness and filial piety" (not sure if the expression is right, I cant find the references). Tangli possesses all the styles. Zhang Jiemin, former Chinese Chairman, visited this village.
